A Boeing 727-200 Home Project
- antr 12y agoIMHO a more cool home is the 'Wing House' - a house that uses a 747's wings as the roof: http://www.ilikearchitecture.net/2014/01/wing-house-david-hertz-architects-and-the-studio-of-environmental-architecture/ http://www.ilikearchitecture.net/2014/01/wing-house-david-he...
- ohwp 12y agoNice :) Years ago you could buy an old submarine in the Netherlands for around $1 Moving costs excluded ofcourse. But I always fantasized about putting it on a piece of land using it as a house.
- pattle 12y agoDo you regret not doing it?
- ohwp 12y agoNo, I was too young back then.
- gambiting 12y agoI do wonder what the realistic cost of moving it somewhere would be. Assuming, that you would like to take it out of water and put on a property somewhere. Would it be in hundreds of thousands of dollars? Or more like millions?
- LeonM 12y agoIn the Netherlands you can buy various potential houses for 1 euro, like old water towers, factories or boats. The problem is that once bought, you are obliged to renovate the object (since most of them are considered "monuments"), and renovation costs can easily cost €500k to 1M. Also, because the objects are monuments, there are very strict rules on what you are permitted to change (like the color of the paint), making renovation very difficult or even impossible.

- cocoflunchy 12y agoDoes anyone know if there are pictures of the interior somewhere? I couldn't find anything on the website.
- Timshel 12y agoFound some here, but it's far from finished : http://www.airplanehome.com/Images/29Aug2006ImagesCatalog.htm http://www.airplanehome.com/Images/29Aug2006ImagesCatalog.ht...
- iso8859-1 12y ago> No helicopter can lift even a narrow body aircraft - they're simply too massive. 70 seats (82-pound per piece) weigh 2603 kg. An Embraer 170 has an empty weight of 21140 kg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_E-Jet_family https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_E-Jet_family The Mil-26 can carry 20000 kg of cargo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil_Mi-26 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil_Mi-26 But maybe the wings would need to be removed first, as they would be aerodynamically inhibitive for helicopter flight.
- larrywright 12y agoIs it just me or does the structure (and I use that term loosely) supporting the front tires look sketchy?
